Question… At the end of World War II, who was placed on the list of history’s most hated villains? Adolf Hitler. How did he get on that list? By becoming a dictator of Germany and conducting a mass-killing spree against the Jews. Was Hitler always like this? No. He was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau, Upper Austria. His father, Alois worked as a customs officer on the border crossing and his mother, Klara, was a housewife. Hitler had a brother Gustav and a sister Ida, but they both died at birth. He also had another brother, Edmund but he died at the age of 6 and another sister, Paula. She outlived Adolf. He did very poor as a school going individual and dropped out before graduation with an ambition to be a writer. His father died when he was only 13, and his mother died of cancer when he was 19. Adolf did absolutely nothing to earn his keep at home or at school. He didn’t work and didn’t keep up with his studies. The only thing that kept his interest was history and politics. After his mother’s death, he unsuccessfully found no one that would take him in for free. So he up and moved to Vienna and within a year he was homeless.
The start of his craziness…
In 1913, Adolf moved to Munich in Southern Germany and within a year of his move World War I broke out. He then volunteered for service in the German Army and was accepted into the 16th Baumann Reserve Infantry Regiment. He was soon promoted to Corporal and decorated with both the Iron Cross First and Second Class (ironically, the one who promoted him was the regimental captain who happened to be a Jew). After returning from a hospital stay in Traunstein, he witnessed a takeover bid by local communists who seized power before being ousted by the Army. He was then asked to testify sort of speak against what he saw. Soon after testifying, he was asked to become part of a local Army Organization, which was responsible for persuading returning soldiers not to turn to communism (a form of socialism that abolishes private ownership; a political theory favoring collectivism in a classless society, http://www.dictionary.com) or pacifism. In 1919, Hitler gave a speech that attracted over 100 people. A year later he also gave a speech that attracted over 2,000 people. On April 1, 1920, he gave a speech, which brought about the idea of and organization ...

...right, his age was getting to him too! When you actually sit down and think about the fact of a mass suicide like the one I mentioned in the beginning, just because of one person… It is a bit overwhelming. Now that I have you sitting and thinking about that… Did Hitler

  • The Country's Best Yogurt (Tcby) Case Study

    1779 Words  | 4 Pages

    TCBY has been a frozen treats product innovator from the day its first shop opened in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1981. The great-tasting, low-fat frozen yogurt concept received an enthusiastic response from an increasingly health-conscious public. Its trendy new product propelled the company to the forefront of franchising, and was the ‘first in a long line of ground-breaking menu items that anticipated consumer preferences and continually refreshed the TCBY concept’ (Conlin 2001, p. 133). But TCBY products are just one of the reasons that thousands of operators have concluded that a TCBY franchise is the preferred opportunity in branded frozen treats, and a dynamic partner in any co-branded concept. However, TCBY is facing a lot of problems, both internal and external, during the difficult period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, especially the problem with its franchising system. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive situation analysis of TCBY, with special reference to its franchising system, and identify several concerned issues of TCBY and its franchisees, and how these issues have negatively affected the relationship between them. Furthermore, this report also provides three recommendations in the attempt to diminish these concerned issues and better maintain the relationship between TCBY and its franchisees, and most importantly, help TCBY to increase the company’s performance and achieve their strategic goals in the next few years.

  • Spirit Airlines: An Unorthodox Airline

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    Spirit addresses “price” by attempting to get the lowest possible fair for their potential customers. They have instituted their “unbundling” strategy that essentially removes all the conveniences that other airlines afford. Fees for checked bags, fees for flight changes, and no complementary in-flight beverages are just a few of the cost-trimming techniques employed. This strategy allows Spirit to come up with impossibly low fares. It also conforms to customers who just want to get from point A to point B without paying extra for services they don’t use. This strategy, coupled with an in-your-face “promotion” ploy, has made Spirit Airlines “the most profitable airline in the U.S.” (Nicas, 2012).

    ...or group of people that posed a threat to his ideologies. He ordered to have his generals and subordinates who did not side with him on very important issues, hanged. From a careful look at the life of Hitler and what he did from the beginning of his political career through to the end of his life shows a man who was mentally ill. There were other people in his generation who went through a hard childhood and there were people during that age and time who were tortured in prison; but not all of them rose to power and committed atrocities like Adolf Hitler did. Hitler exhibited some very weird physical attributes like his infantilism and some very complicated personal qualities like love for decapitation. His ideologies were very inhumane too. All these points to a man who was not crazy as influenced by his environmental or social factors but mentally was not stable.
